Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} block is suspended from two ideal springs that are attached in parallel to a rigid support. Each spring has a force constant of 50 N ⁣⋅ ⁣m−150\,\text{N}\!\cdot\!\text{m}^{-1}. Assuming g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}, determine the extension of each spring when the block is in static equilibrium. Give your answer in meters.
